I'm having the same problem as the original poster. I also tried reinstalling (several times), and I tried both the SixLauncher method which I'm currently using with little success, and the manual installation method. Using either method leads to the same problems, which most commonly the game freezes on the "LOADING" screen. Sometimes it'll freeze on the "RECEIVING" screen, or if I path both of those (which is rare), the game will freeze on the "WAITING TO CREATE CHARACTER" screen. I realize the game's in it's (very) early Alpha stages, so if these problems are something everyone's experiencing I fully understand; it takes time to make things work the way they're supposed to. On the other hand, if these problems don't show up across the board, I would really like to be able to solve them. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
